When he heard the eunuch's salute, a happy look flashed across Wangyue's face, and she quickly stood up and went out to greet him.
"Jun..."
The smile on Wangyue's face suddenly froze when she saw Yun Jin beside Xuanqing.
She glanced at Yun Jin's intertwined hands calmly, and quickly hid the emotions in her eyes.
She stepped forward and took Xuan Qing's arm calmly, blocking Concubine Ming from holding his hand.
"Your Majesty, I made delicious food for you. They are all your favorites in the past. I don't know if my skills have faded. Please try them."
With that said, Wangyue put a piece of light side dish into Xuanqing's bowl.
Yun Jin just stood behind Xuan Qing, quietly and without disturbing her, like an outsider.
Xuanqing took a sip and nodded slightly, "Wang Yue's cooking skills are still as good as before. It reminds me of those days in the past."
Wangyue smiled slightly, as if she had just noticed Yun Jin.
"My sister, Concubine Ming, is here too. Come, let's try the food cooked by me together."
Concubine Ming bowed, "I don't dare."
"Seeing that my sister Ming Fei's face is sweating, I guess she must be tired from walking all the way. In that case, let's go back and rest first."
"..."
The expression on Concubine Ming's face froze slightly. She didn't expect that she was just being polite, but she would act like this.
"I'm not tired, I'm serving the imperial concubine and the monarch to a meal."
"You've worked hard too. Come and join us. Wangyue's cooking skills are very good."
After Xuan Qing's words, Yun Jin immediately laughed. She came to sit next to Xuan Qing. Before Wang Yue raised her hand to pick Xuan Qing's food, she quickly picked the farthest dish and put it in his bowl. "My Lord, please use it more often as you travel all the way. In the evening, I will rub your feet for you."
Mochizuki's hand holding the dish suddenly froze in the air.
She glanced at Yun Jin lightly, and then put the food into Yun Jin's bowl, "Sister Ming Fei, you should also eat more."
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Ming picked up the food in the bowl and took a bite. "The cooking skills of the imperial concubine are indeed superb. I must ask for advice so that I can cook it for the monarch one day."
Xuanqing lowered his eyes as he ate the food in the bowl, but it was like chewing a piece of cake. He didn't notice the smoke filling the air between the two women.
After a while, he put down his chopsticks.
"I'm tired. If you have nothing to do, please leave."
"Your Majesty, I see that you are a little tired, and I don't trust you to be alone. My sister is tired from cooking, so why not go back and rest first."
Looking at Yun Jin in front of her, Wang Yue's eyes darkened a bit.
Then, she sneered and said: "I still have something to tell you about Prince Yin."
Upon hearing Prince Yin, Xuanqing immediately became more energetic.
"Concubine Ming, please go down first."
Concubine Ming was stunned. She glanced meaningfully at Wangyue, then she blessed herself and walked out.
For a moment, only Wangyue and Xuanqing were left in this huge hall. He rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter? What's wrong with Yin Luzhu?"
"My lord, I have discovered that the great Lord Yin seems to have murderous intentions towards the Yin Crown Prince."
Hearing this, Xuanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did you find out?"
"Your Majesty Yin will not allow anyone to comment on the matter of sending me back to the north. I must send Prince Yin there. It seems that I am sure that the monarch will make it impossible for him to go back."
"Heh."
Xuanqing hummed a syllable coolly, "Yin Luzhu could have chosen a comfortable life, but she didn't want it. She deserves to die."
